Developing country consumers’ acceptance of biofortified foods: a synthesis (2015, neutral): “The final section concludes with recommendations for crop development and demand creation 1 See for example van Jaarsveld et al. (2005) and Low et al. (2007) for vitamin A OSP; Moura et al. (2014) for vitamin A maize; Moura et al. (2014) for vitamin A cassava; Beer et al. (2014), Haas et al. (2013)…”
Estimating consumer willingness to pay for food quality with experimental auctions: the case of yellow versus fortified maize meal in Kenya: H. De Groote et al. / Agricultural Economics xx (2010) 1-16 (2010, background): “Varieties of sweet potatoes with high provitamin A content are already on the market, and have been shown to increase vitamin A intake and serum retinol concentrations in young children (Low et al., 2007).”
Biofortification of crops for reducing malnutrition (2012, background): “As a result, VAD among pre-school children in the tested villages declined from 60 to 38% (Low et al. 2007).”
Improving nutrition through biofortification: A review of evidence from HarvestPlus, 2003 through 2016 (2017, background): “Consumption of orange sweet potato (OSP) can result in a significant increase in vitamin A body stores across age groups (Haskell et al., 2004; Low et al., 2007; van Jaarsveld et al., 2005).”
Biofortified crops for tackling micronutrient deficiencies – what impact are these having in developing countries and could they be of relevance within Europe? (2018, positive): “A 2-year study implemented in 827 households in three districts of Mozambique followed 498 children in households receiving an intervention to increase access to, knowledge of, and demand for OSP and compared them to 243 control children (Low et al. 2007).”
Consumer acceptance of provitamin A-biofortified maize in Maputo, Mozambique (2008, background): “However, Mozambique’s recent success in introducing orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (OFSP) suggests that with appropriate education efforts consumers are willing to change consumption habits with respect to food appearance (Low et al., 2007).”
Integrating a broader notion of food security and gender empowerment into the African Green Revolution (2009, background): “Biofortification technology and introduction of nutrient rich foods such as orange-fleshed sweet potato increased Vitamin A intake and serum retinol concentrations in young children in rural Mozambique (Low et al. 2007).”
Biofortification: A New Tool to Reduce Micronutrient Malnutrition (2011, neutral): “deficiency remained constant in control villages [34].”
Food system strategies for preventing micronutrient malnutrition (2013, background): “For example, at its May 2012 summit at Camp David, Maryland, USA, G-8 and African leaders issued a commitment to achieve global food security.”
Sustainable intensification in African agriculture (2011, background): “In Mozambique, consumption of orange sweet potato has been shown to increase serum retinol concentrations in children substantially (Low et al., 2007).”
